WHAT IF NO-ONE IS AT HOME FOR THE DELIVERY?
For Local Deliveries - If our drivers are unable to locate anyone at the recipient's address during the delivery attempt, they will try to get in touch with the recipient in order to determine a spot where they can leave the flowers. If reaching the recipient is not possible, our drivers will try leaving a message (if feasible). Then securely place the package in a designated location without requiring a signature. In situations where it's not feasible to leave the flowers and there is no one available to accept the delivery, re-delivery will be necessary. Please note that there might be a charge for re-delivery, typically ranging from $15 to $40. We always strive to avoid any need for re-delivery; however, ensuring the safety of your flowers remains our priority. If re-delivery becomes necessary, we will schedule it as soon as possible—often later in the day or the following day—and you can expect that any related fees will be billed directly to your VISA or Mastercard. In case you initially paid for your order through PayPal, we will initiate the re-delivery process once we have received all the required fees for it.
For Deliveries Outside of the Local Delivery Area- It's essential to understand that when using common carriers, the delivery person won't personally interact with the recipient if they're not available at the time of flower arrival. Common carriers typically don't have a policy of contacting recipients via phone; instead, they will leave the package at the door if they believe it's secure enough to do so. They will leave a note indicating a different location for the recipient to pick up the flowers, such as a post office or a designated drop box, if it turns out to be unsafe to leave the package at the front door. If the package is not picked up during the following 10 days, Vancouver Blooms will receive it once more. Re-delivery attempts may be made if necessary, but this might result in an extra fee of between $15 and $40.
SHIPPING FRESH FRUIT, CAKES & BAKED GOODS, FLOWERS, FRESH CHEESE, CHOCOLATE DIPPED STRAWBERRIES & PERISHABLES
Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Fresh Cheeses, Fresh Fruits, ETC must be shipped quickly to maintain their quality.
To ensure the freshest possible product, we recommend customers request to have Fresh Fruit, Fresh Cheese & Chocolate Dipped Strawberries shipped on an express basis. Same day delivery service is free in the Vancouver Area and suburbs -- see above.
If a customer does not choose same-day or rush service for a chocolate dipped fruit order, we will substitute the fresh strawberries with truffles or strawberries made of dark or milk chocolate so they arrive in good condition. During the hot summer months - June to August - we recommend rush or same day service for Chocolate Dipped Strawberries.
For orders that request fresh cheese, we will substitute non-perishable cheese if the expected delivery times are more than 24 hours or the cheese could go bad.
If a customer requests delivery of fruit, fresh cheese, chocolate dipped strawberries, etc by ground shipping, we cannot guarantee freshness or the quality of these items when they are received and will not refund customers if items have melted or the items are received in less than perfect condition.
OVERWEIGHT, OVERSIZED DELIVERIES
In some cases, some of the items that we ship are oversized or of a weight that is above average. In these cases, additional delivery charges may apply. However, before we apply these additional shipping charges, we will contact you, our customer, to ensure that you are willing to pay the additional shipping charges. If you agree to the overweight/oversized charges, we will apply the charges and ship the package. If you do not agree to the additional shipping charges, we may offer other items which can be shipped or cancel the order.
